ShipRocked 2015 featured once-in-a-lifetime performances and musical collaborations during the roundtrip ocean voyage from Port Miami onboard Norwegian Pearl, with two days at picturesque Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas.

For those that want to “Rock Hard, Vacation Harder,” plans are underway for ShipRocked 2016. The ShipRocked pre-sale will begin in the next few weeks, with cabin selection following shortly after. Look for details in the coming weeks at www.ShipRocked.com.

Living Colour’s first performance featured special guests Lajon Witherspoon (Sevendust) on “Cult Of Personality,” Scott Ian on The Clash’s “Should I Stay Or Should I Go,” and Joey Belladonna and Alex Skolnick on Cream’s “Sunshine Of My Love.”

Many ShipRocked guests started their vacation early with the ShipRockedSuper Sailgate Pre-Party--sponsored by Monster Energy--onFebruary 1, which kicked off with Zakk Wylde’s rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” on guitar, featured Chevelle’s only ShipRockedperformance, as well as a halftime performance from Wilson (complete with cheerleaders), and a post-game performance by ShipRocked veteransSevendust.

In addition to the non-stop music on the ship and the private island during ShipRocked, guests participated in a variety of events, activities and competitions, including:

2015 also marked the first-ever Shippy Awards on the final night of the cruise, where guests were presented with awards for various accomplishments during the trip.

The ShipRocked charity auction benefitting Cancer Sucks (www.cancersucks.com) raised nearly $80,000. Cancer Sucks is a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding innovative medical research and finding a cure for cancer. The annual auction features one-of-a-kind rock memorabilia from current and past ShipRocked bands and more.

Here’s a taste of what various press experienced during ShipRocked:

“When you step on the deck of the ShipRocked boat you realize immediately that this is a special place where artists and their biggest fans can rock the nights away with massive show after show for five days on the high seas aboard Norwegian Pearl…One of the coolest things to see on the [ship] is that all of the band members are true rock music fans. They all attend each other’s performances while on board…ShipRocked is all about the fans and the fan experience. Every single band member was out of their room enjoying the ship, meeting fans, taking pictures, and signing autographs every day. I saw fans wait patiently to speak to their favorite band members and they were all very respectful of the artists throughout the cruise. This is not my first music cruise but this is the first one where every band on board did a formal meet and greet so that their fans could have a photo with all band members either onboard the ship or on the island.”

--Amy Harris, AXS.com, February 8, 2015

“ShipRockers have their own nomenclature, their own code of conduct and a willingness to embrace strangers, knowing we are all there for the same reasons.”

--Steve Black, WRIF-FM (Detroit)/Chop Shop Radio, February 9, 2015

“The fun aboard ShipRocked is endless…”

--Liz Ramanand, Loudwire.com, February 10, 2015 (Day 1 recap)

“ShipRocked is the ultimate party on a huge boat with all of your favorite bands.”

Tommy thank you for taking out some time from touring to answer some questions. BAH: Prong have been around since the late 1980's, what do you contribute your lasting success? TV: I don’t know for sure. Maybe it has something to do with when I was 11 years old I just wanted to be in a band get on stage and get the hell out of where I was. That feeling remained for a long time and it may be hard wired into me. I can’t explain a lot of it. I know I’ve wanted to get out of the whole band thing several times and I somehow get pulled back in. Success is relative though. To some I’m successful to others I’m not. I’ve made way more mistakes than base hits along the way. Me, I think I have like a .285 lifetime batting average. There’s a lot of guys way more talented than me out there. A lot of guys way more better looking. I’ve had some good breaks. I’ve also simply willed survival in the business many times. You just keep looking for pieces to finish the puzzle. BAH: What is it like when t…
